REASONS FOR REMOVAL

Breast implant removal surgery may be performed for a number of reasons. Some women have had their implants for many years and choose to have them removed or replaced, while others no longer desire to have implants at all. One of the most common reasons one may decide to remove or replace their breast implants is due to their bodies’ response to the implant or capsule formation.

A capsule is a natural membrane formed by your immune system in response to the placement of an implant. Every patient forms a capsule post operatively as part of the recovery process.

However, some (estimated 4-16%) may experience what is called a capsular contracture, which is a thickening of the scar tissue that may result in discomfort and/or dissatisfaction with the appearance of the breast.

In this case, and some others, an En Bloc technique is available. Extremely experienced Plastic Surgeons are turning to the En Bloc method, as complications are minimized and this approach ensures the removed tissue and implant remains intact. With this method, Dr. Virden is able to excise the implant and completely clean and treat the area ensuring all scar tissue is removed safely.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

En Bloc Capsulectomy Explained

An En Bloc capsulectomy is a technique where the breast implant and the surrounding fibrous capsule is removed in its entirety. More and more experienced Plastic Surgeons are turning to this method of implant removal as it preserves the health of the remaining breast tissue, which minimizes complications, promoting overall health and well-being.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Breast implant removal/En Bloc removal is a same day outpatient procedure. This means you will not be admitted into the hospital and will go home within a few hours of your procedure. Dr. Virden will assess you in his office the day immediately following your breast implant removal. Effective pain control will be discussed during your pre-operative appointment and managed by Dr. Virden following your procedure. The recovery period after breast implant removal will vary for every patient; however, most report a temporary feeling of tightness in the breast area. Optimal results can be observed approximately 3 weeks post-operatively and full results in 4 – 6 months.
